He’s cool. Anyone who’ll step to Bill O’Reilly and any other bser out there has my support.

Love Keith Olbermann-watch him every night. He doesn’t sugarcoat things or treat you like you don’t know better, unlike some news media outlets- what he said last night was defintely on point.

GO TEAM OBAMA!

You know there are people who think her comments were calculated and intended for a reason, check out the Huffington post and see what I mean.

don’t nobody wanna go on that wack site livesteez! jeez!

And yes, livesteez is totally lame. Your video player is buggy, most videos don’t work, and the whole site is slooooooooow

DAMN – I meant to type if Obama doesn’t win, sorry for the error.

THAT WAS AWESOME…THAT WAS TOUCHING AND IT MADE SOO MUCH SENSE….ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW

Bravo! Well said.

And like I’ve been saying, if Hillary can’t run her campaign, she sure as hell can’t run the country. Think on it…

i totally agree with everything he said, hillary is poisoning her own party

He gave her the business!

I’ve always liked this guy. He and Lou Dobbs are usually on point w/ topics on race and immigration.

YES, YES YES!!!!

And this man seems mad as hell! Good because I am mad as hell!

It is obvious Clinton is a fumbling, bumbling idiot letting over zealous people run her campaign right into the mud, which smear tactics, and now sexist and racist tactics.

In the words of WHAT THE HELL if she cannot run her campaign how can she run this country.

OBAMA 08! For real. For staying a step ahead, for not being negative and for not stooping so low.

OBAMA 08

Hillary sit the f*ck down.

Letting some woman with 20 year old rhetoric destroy your campaign is the ipiodmy of stupid. Hillary…you time is done!

me’s donts likes hilary supporters

me dont likes em at all…..

*sniff sniff* i smell hilaryjuice on YOU

Obama and the Race Card

March 13, 2008

Is it just us, or does Barack Obama seem a mite too quick to play the race card when facing criticism from political opponents?

In recent days, the Obama camp has been demanding an apology from Geraldine Ferraro, the former Vice Presidential candidate and current Hillary Clinton supporter who last week let slip that, “If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman of any color, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”

Though Ms. Ferraro resigned from the Clinton campaign yesterday, her remarks reveal little more than a firm grasp of the obvious, even if she could have found a less artless way to express herself. There is no disputing that Mr. Obama’s skin color has been a political boon for him to date. And the suggestion that saying so aloud betrays racial animus implies that only the Illinois Senator can discuss the issue of race in regard to his candidacy.

Back in January, the Obama campaign was on similarly shaky ground when it accused Mrs. Clinton of belittling Martin Luther King Jr. by stating that “it took a President” to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Mrs. Clinton was stating a fact, not slighting King, and the context in which she uttered the statement made that perfectly clear.

We’re not suggesting that the Obama campaign has never been justified in crying foul over racially tinged remarks out of the Clinton camp. When Bill Clinton gratuitously invoked Jesse Jackson after Mr. Obama won the South Carolina primary, he was clearly trying to define the Senator’s victory in narrowly racial terms.

But for all of Mr. Obama’s soaring rhetoric about the nation’s need for a post-racial politics that “brings the American people together,” his campaign at times has seemed overly sensitive about race. It also seems to want it both ways. Mr. Obama claims that his brand of politics transcends race, but at the same time he’s using race as a shield to shut down important and legitimate arguments.

Already, prominent Obama sympathizers, such as Harvard’s Orlando Patterson, are detecting racial overtones where none exist. In a New York Times op-ed this week, Mr. Patterson said a Clinton political ad designed to question Mr. Obama’s readiness as Commander in Chief contained a “racist sub-message” because none of the people depicted in the TV spot are black. Counting people of color in an ad about national security is hardly consistent with the Obama theme that “race doesn’t matter.”

We suppose some of the current back and forth is due to the diversity preoccupations of Democrats. But it bodes ill for an honest fall campaign if Mr. Obama and his allies are going to play the race card to blunt any criticism. A campaign in which John McCain couldn’t question Mr. Obama’s policies, experience and mettle without being called a racist is not what the country needs. Or wants.

Democrats have repeatedly touted the diversity of their party’s White House hopefuls. And it is true that a Clinton or Obama Presidency would make gender or racial history. Americans of all backgrounds can take satisfaction in watching the country field its first black Presidential candidate with a chance to win. But voters also want their would-be Presidents properly vetted, by the media and by each other. To that end Mr. Obama would do better to focus more on answering his political critics with specifics and less on questioning their motives by crying wolf on race.

That’s my dog Keith…

Ever since he was on ESPN, he’s been speaking the truth. But he went hard at the Clinton campaign on this one. They could get away with this 30 years ago, but in the age of the internet, tivo & youtube…you cant slip nothing past the american people.

Whoop dat trick Keith….whoop dat trick.

Good Job Keith!!!

Olberman always speaks the truth. What he forgot to mention is that Clinton’s ……”it takes a village to raise a child”….what she is doing is “burning down the village” for to get the nomination. That woman will split the Democratic party for her evil and vindictive means

Man, I saw this on tv last night. This man is so fired up. His face was turning red, he was spitting, the whole 9. I was like daaaaaaamn. He tore Hilary and Geraldine a new one. Apparently this isn’t the first time Geraldine has made remarks about someone’s race being the only reason they have made it or succeeded.

WOW!! Let the church say AMEN!!!

And by the way Obama WON TEXAS!!! Don’t believe the hype.

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Watch the back door move. We will probably get the victim “Stand by your man” Hillary shortly. Now Obama has four fronts to side line him. Ferret, Billary, and Grandady Cain. This is coming from the Liberal party. “By any means necessary” Hillary standing at the Capital Hill window with the AK-47. If she can not be the first White Female President, she definitely will not let the first Black Male President precede her; wreck the whole party if that’s what it takes. Bill on the side singing “Me-n-my girlfriend” God bless the Dead.

Raven,

All I have to say is whoa… That was some passionate speaking there. He put the truth out. I don’t trust many of of these white anchor’s because you rarely get to see any color on the major networks, but he most definitely let them know what the dang deal is.

Wow! Such Conviction!!! Way to go! Hillary needs to stop with the muslim, race thing… It is time to play fair Hillary. You’re truly dividing the party.

Raven,

I feel ya, but this is Billary’s doing. Believe it or not they can not fathom the thought of losing the opportunity to be the first White Female President and they are willing to destroy whatever fragile unity that exist in the Party. Instead of saying Okay lets kill all this BS and focus on the issues, she insist on playing every dirty trick in the book. For instance, on the news this morning she made the comment that the there are only two options to the Florida and Michigan fiasco. Either except the results or redo the whole thing. Now this is after she and Obama agreed with the exclusion of the results since they broke the Party rules. Now Obama has not changed his stance on what was agreed upon, but now naturally he is seen as opposing the votes of the Floridi(ans) and Michigan(ers). Now tell me she didn’t plan for this just in case things got close. She was the only one on the ballot in Florida and Obama didn’t campaign in either place. Now that’s some Gangsta Sh*#%.

Raven,

The GOP has nothing to do with HRC running this kitchen sink strategy, but they’re damn sure going to take advantage of it. It’s HRC’s, and HRC alone, fault that the Dems have been split and that she’s boobytrapping the nomination in case she doesn’t get it.

What the GOP DOES want is for the nomination process to go all the way to the convention and with HRC gaining alot of GOP votes in Miss, it looks like they’re trying their hardest to see that through.

@Oh Please, do yourself a favor and NOT click on Obama/Clinton post. Then you don’t have to worry about it.

Keith is not an republican. He is a leftist and very out spoken! He put Shady Hillary and that old hag Ferraro on blast! Hillary is about to start an race war and it is simmering up right now! If shady Clinton’s steal the election, it is going to explode!

Obama isn’t playing the race card; the race baiters are. He’s responding to insulting and divisive remarks being made about him, as well he should.

To those who want to say he doesn’t have the experience:

As Olbermann pointed out, a lot of people who have run for office, including the office of the president didn’t come to their political races with experience. The office of presidency requires not specific job experience, but character to make the right decisions and intelligence and charisma to build coalitions — that is if you’re not willing to lie and mislead Congress and the American people to get what you want. The experience argument is more worrisome because it is a fact of African American life – blacks have to have more education and more experience to be considered even potentially qualified to do what white men do because they know somebody who knows somebody. Our current president was a hard-drinking, C student whose only political experience before becoming president was as governor of Texas. Our current president didn’t go in search of the terrorist responsible for 9/11 attacks in the US but went in search of man who was at odds with his father a decade before. Our current president started a war that has caused gas prices to soar, quadrupled the deficit, sent the country into a recession, and it’s a war we cannot win, but was he not elected twice? But Obama is not “qualified” to be president? Hillary is no better than George W in terms of arrogance, self-seeking behavior, and a lack of insight or wisdom. Plus, she cannot win against McCain. There’s just too much baggage there. Obama is more than qualified, and he’s what the country needs at this time. And not because he’s black. And not because he’s a man. Because he has the character which is what has been sorely lacking in the White House in the last two presidents.

I just hope people see the worst case scenario is another republican running for another 4 years.

And there’s no way Hilary is more racist than that old geezer.

There is nothing you can add on to that…Kieth was thorough and accurate in his delivery. Everything you might have wanted to say, he said it….and the bottom line is that the world is seeing another side of Hillary Clinton. Let’s face it, we all have different sides, some good and some bad. Then there is the core of who we really are. This campaign has really brought out the ‘core’ of who Hillary Clinton is and what she’s capable of…as grandma use to say, “The dirt always comes out in the wash”. We are seeing a desperate, vindictive, confused, unsure and unsavory side of Hillary Clinton. But the real disappointment is made blantantly valid in Hillary’s apparent and obivious condescending attitude at the idea that a black man could be president. That he could do a better job than a white woman…a white woman that has extensive experience, respectfully. Hillary has forgotten that the voice of America is speaking and has chosen who they feel will best represent the interests of this country. I am saddened that Hillary does not ‘trust’ or ‘respect’ the judgement of this voice…of us as American’s. Apparently we cannot think for ourselves….hmmm, it seems as if Hillary and HER CAMP have suggested anyone who may have voted for Obama is so stupid and clueless, that the mere fact that he’s black is REALLY what inspired us to go get out and vote. And that all his other attributes, contributions, qualifications, and achievements were beyond our understanding….evidently black, white, latino, asian, jewish, middle eastern, etc…..we are all lost in the ‘concept’ of a black president. We are not capable of making sound decisions based on merit. This is the message that Hillary’s camp is promoting and it is a reflection of Hillary’s selfishness, greed, lack of faith in God’s will, lack of faith in American’s, desperation, cowardice and opinions. At this point, and only at this point…if for some odd and unfair reason Hillary was selected over Obama ( cause let’s face it, racism and fuel behind it is live and kicking), I would vote republican for the first time in my 33 years….I would vote for McCain, for the simple fact he has showed us who he is….and Hillary has slowly done the same thing. It’s chosing the lessor of evils.

He’s on point.

All I can say is wow…

He was REALLY annoyed

I appreciate everything he said, for once somebody using facts and thinking critically using common sense… how refreshing

This was beautifully done. Somebody needed to let Sen.Clinton know whats up…and it aint her…lol

I love Keith Olbermann! He’s like the Democrats version of Bill O’Reily without the ignorance. He’s so right, Hillary has become a monster in this primary election. I used to love her and Bill, and I thought that I would have a real decision to make as a woman and as an African American in this election. But, since Hillary has become a complete ass, its not a hard decision anymore. First, by her just making every negative comment about Obama when he wasnt even playing the compaign dirty. Secondly, by being almost arrogant towards Obama and her continuing to point out how unqualified he is when he is a senator JUST like her. She acts like SHE was the president and not her husband. And, lastly just her suggesting that Barack should be honored to be her vice president, basically saying “Fall back Boy’ and play your position”. WHO IS SHE?! Barack is LEADING! Why should he be YOUR vice president? Just this primary election has let me see alot about the ‘folk who were supposed to be for US. My oh my how Bill and Hill seem as white as snow now. The one thing I can say about the comment made by Geraldine Ferraro is that I believe in these last few months before the nomination is done, is that I’ve noticed alot of Hispanics have been siding toward Hillary. And this kind of baffles me because her foriegn policies and immigration stance isnt nowhere near those that Obama has. Yet I have a very *Paranoid Negro* philosphy… Don’t you think Hispanics might be thinking, “Ya’ll aint getting one in before us”?

LOL! That was ignorant I know but I thinks like that.

WHATS SO sad is that a lot of people are not seeing what Geradine is doing. She is trying to reach out to the true racist in America. She is trying to reach out to them and say ” We can not let this black man beat one of our own!” She is trying to get every klan memeber who has a voter card to get out there and vote. it doesn’t matter that they vote republican as long as the black man doesn’t win. We need to wake up and smell the conspiracy

YES!!! I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR SUM1 TO COME ON T.V AND POINT OUT PPL ARE BEIN HELA RACIST TOWARDS OBAMA.WELL SAID.

I agree w his commentary, BUT from what he started out saying, would he NOT have made SAID ANYTHING if the Senator, her husband, her mother and her brother not been people who he had been grateful to before this Ferraro thing happened????? that was a little fuzzy to me.

The poster by the name of ‘K’ who posted on March 13 at 12:39 pm was RIGHT ON!!!!!!!

And when Geraldine Ferraro’s statment is used in the context that she used it, she has a legitimate point. If Barrack Obama were a white man, he would not be the leading candidate right now, Hillary would. If he were white, the majority of the black community would be supporting Hillary Clinton. Or how about Asian? If Barack Obama were a Asian man, you all still believe the overwhelming majority of the black community would be supporting him instead of Hillary? I don’t think so.

That is the point Geraldine Ferraro was making before her words were taken out of context, resulting in her now being labeled a racist.

Wake up folks!

I have always regarded Mr. Olbermann as a very intelligent and a fair person. I could listen to him forever. His comments is right up there with his character. People are finally coming to their senses and weeding out garbage commentary.

@ Everybody

Ground Rules:

No Blogs that are longer than 2 paragraphs…damn yall must have jobs or something

VJHE – You are highly ignorant!! If a white man came along speaking the words of change with charisma, style and appeal he would be, guess who? BILL CLINTON AND JOHN F. KENNEDY!! You ignorant moron! Obama is not the first inexperienced politician to run on the message of change and hope. Go back and read Bill Clinton’s stump speeches. Yet no one presumed they must in that position b/c they are white, the presumed they must be doing well because they appeal to a large section of the population. THEIR RACE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT AND NEITHER DOES OBAMA’S. And since when does this racist country start voting for a black man as President simply b/c he’s black? Hell the black people weren’t even voting for him until Clinton came out as a racist and until it was proven that he could win caucuses. You are the highlight of ignorance. Shut the hell up.

Done.

Folks listen to what Geraldine Ferraro was saying. When she is saying “he wouldn’t be in this position” she is referring to the Front Runner position he is currently holding. She is not questioning his qualifications. Am I the only one here who could see that? There was nothing racist about what she said and I can’t believe someone who is suppose to be smart like Keith Olberman cannot see that.

OMG, these people’s blind support for Obama and their overzealous hatred of Hillary Clinton is going to land John McCain in the White House. WAKE UP!!!!!

Ugh, I never did like Keith Oberman. Anyway, for all those who think Hills winning lately has only to do with Rush Limbaugh telling Republicans to vote for her, check out this Village Voice article that tells who the Repubs have really been voting for and why.

“Hillary and the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

The strange case of conservative pundits and their love for Barack Obama”

“Right-leaning pundits for months now have very openly not just called for Hillary Clinton’s head, but also coddled and promoted Barack Obama, salivating over the prospect of facing him in November. Meanwhile, voters have been echoing that program: Barack Obama has been beating Hillary Clinton in part because Republicans are helping him.”

“Rush Limbaugh, whose radio show reaches 13 million, dropped his “mafia wife,” “Nurse Ratched,” and “testicle lockbox” descriptions of Hillary Clinton long enough to urge his listeners to vote for her “if they can stomach it.” His rationale was to keep the bloodbath going. Up to then, he was unabashedly boosting Obama with the same perverse purpose.”

So, before Rush told Repubs to start voting for Hillary, he was telling them to do the same for Obama. Interesting.

I’ve been ontoKeith for a minute. He let’s his feelings be known and he’s fair honest about it and very intelligent! And I agree totally with what he just said. It isn’t even April yet and I’m already sick to my stomach watching this campaign unfold. Every black American should be insulted by GF’s comments. There’s a lot of people in white America and some black who think black people are so ignorant…that when we saw Barack’s black face we said ‘ ooohh weee I’s gon vote for him…he looks jus’ like me!’ That’s why although I don’t want McCain to win the election… I might have a hard time voting for Hillary…she’s shady and vindictive and will use any means neccesary to get the nomination. Even if it means splitting the party in half.

Note- I do not respond to people who’s parents failed in teaching them how to communicate with others without calling them out of their name.

My question is: How the hell can any of the black congressmen and congresswomen stand behind Hillary Clinton NOW?

Where’s Pastor Manning’s retarded ass?

Raven, rising gas prices have nothing to do with democrats OR republicans. Learn something about economics and oil. What, you think Bush snaps his fingers and gas magically goes up another ten cents? GET A GRIP. It’s astounding how ignorant you people are. That’s why you post your political crap on a gossip blog, because you know people who are well-versed in politics won’t waste their time calling you out.

^^^like you are wasting your time? STFU!

PHILLY DA BOSS, what are you talking about? I’m not supporting Clinton first, but Jesus Christ are you crazy? IF Obama doesn’t win you better believe I’ll vote Clinton before McCain.

As a black WOMAN, I’m getting just as sick of you brothers bashing Hilary as I am people bashing Obama because he’s black.

Clinton and Obama are similar enough to support one without hating the other two. Truthfully, if you’re hating (not disliking, hating)Clinton, you’re not truly believing in Obama. Way too similar to justify hate. Obama himself has said he’d support her if she won, what does that tell you? It should tell how important it is for the Dems to win.

VJHE, well said

My question is: How the hell can any of the black congressmen and congresswomen stand behind Hillary Clinton NOW?

Maybe some of them aren’t stupid

Where’s Pastor Manning’s retarded ass?

He’s having a jerk-off fest with Obama’s pastor, have you heard what that retard is saying? Wonder what would be said if Obama’s mother was still alive, wonder if anyone bothers to think that maybe Obama loved his mother and might not want to hear these comments about white woman. Maybe someone should remind this pastor that Obama was raised a “poor black boy, by his single mother” because his deadbeat black father dumped them.

hatefake…Way to contradict anything you say..”She’s Italian, most of them are racist” Ethnic profiling isn’t racist don’t worry. And her husband may be Italian, doesn’t mean she is.

love KEITH OLBERMAN PLEASE WATCH HIM ON MSNBC 2 NIGHT….PLEASE DONT WATCH BILL OREILLY THAT MAN IS RACIST YALL DONT WATCH THAT CHANNEL PLEASE I HATE HIM

I completely agree with Olbermann on this one. Obama has never played the race card. Ferraro directly made a comment regarding Obamas race and implied that he wouldn’t not be where he is if he were not black. If that’s not a racist comment what is? Would Hillary be where she is if it were not for her husband? Really, what has she done to deserve the nomination over Obama? Hillary plays and sex card every chance she gets. Obama was simply defending him self. Some white people feel the only way blacks can achieve success is through some sort of affirmative action or special privilege and it’s simply not true and any one who implies such a thing is racist in my eyes.

Phil

You know there are people who think her comments were calculated and intended for a reason, check out the Huffington post and see what I mean.

+++++++++++++

Havn’t read the Huffington Post but I agree with you. I think that they’re purposely pulling at the under current of racism in our country that even has a heart in the Democratic party although not as extreme as the Republicans. They know exactly what they’re doing. It’s kind of like a mini Dixi-crat climate brewing.

This is my dude!!!

@ Yes.We.Can.2008

pastor Manning must be somewhere preparing his next sermon about Ofrah

@ K

Ferraro didn’t let her comment “slip”. She said the same thing the day before not to mention she said the same thing about Jesse Jackson when he was running for President. Her type of divisiness is not welcomed. Obama wasn’t given anything. He worked hard to be where he is.

I also have to beg to differ that his camp is playing the race card in any way. You have never heard Obama or someone from his camp talk about White voters who support Hillary. Or belittling women voters for voting for Hillary. We have to be careful when making “blanket” statements as to why people vote a certain way. Geraldine Ferraro stated her “Opinion” as to why he is doing well in this campaign. I think his message speaks louder than his color.

Also back in January it wasn’t Hillary just stating a fact that it took a President to past the civil right bill. Do you think LBJ came up with that Bill on his own? That he just decided to sign it out of the goodness of his heart? No, he signed it because people (Black and White) marched and protested to injustices Blacks and other minorities were facing. So no LBJ shouldn’t take the credit. He just signed a freakin bill.

The comment below sums it up perfectly. This is what comes out of Barack’s mouth on a consistant bases. Please stop accusing him of using his race to get to where he is. It is total nonsense!

Obama 08

“Part of what I think Geraldine Ferraro is doing, and I respect the fact that she was a trailblazer, is to participate in the kind of slice-and-dice politics that’s about race and about gender…and that’s what Americans are tired of because they recognize that when we divide ourselves in that way we can’t solve problems,” Obama told NBC.

@vjhe yes you are the only one who gets what Ferraro is saying. Don’t try to sugar coat her remarks. She reduced Obama’s success to the color of his skin. All of these Black wouldn’t just vote for him because of the color of his skin. Give us a little more credit than that.

Here’s another hyperthetical (since Ferraro has been throwing them around) If Obama was a Latino he would of received 90% of the Latino vote. They would of dropped Hillary like a Hot Potato and she probably would have a good number of Blacks supporting her. Further more, why the hell is everyone concerned about how the Blacks a voting. That should make no difference in who a White person votes for.

I said it several years ago, and I am still saying it now. I will not vote for Hillary Clinton. I already knew what she was about before this nomination process began.

And to those that think that we should vote for the Democratic nominee no matter what…answer this (from yesterday):

What if David Duke was the Democratic nominee. Would you support him? What if Dick Cheney switched sides and ran as a Democrat and won the nomination. Would you support him, too?

Well I don’t think Hillary is any better than those two.

Voting for someone just based on their party affiliation is a foolhardy approach to the voting process.

Wow. He spoke with real feelings. Being a black man, I feel like what that chick said was stupid. Once again being a black man, I want to be respected for WHO I am and not what COLOR I am.

Also. It is reasons like this is why I want Obama to win. So that when the next black person who wants to run president won’t have to put up with stuff like: “Oh the reason why he/she is winning is black they are black”. I don’t think not once has any one on Obama’s campagin has played the oh-it’s-because-she-is-a-woman card so why are the doing it to Obama. Hillary is playing dirty and I don’t want someone like that being president. And what is so wrong with people voting for him b/c he is black. Hell it’s THEIR vote and they can vote the way they want to. Nobody is bashing the women who vote for Hillary b/c she is a woman. Man, it’s your vote do what the f*ck u want to do with it.

Anybody know what people like Tavis Smiley had to say about this considering he’s backing Hilary?

Hope

Anybody know what people like Tavis Smiley had to say about this considering he’s backing Hilary?

****************************************************

Good question. That goes every other person who backs her who is black. This underhanded race-baiting has been a consistent issue for clinton, and that’s because she means it to be.

Smart Man!

Keith Olbermann has spoken and let the church say, “Amen”.

myGod..sorry hun but your comprehension skills are not good. She could have called you a coon and you still wouldnt’ have picked up on it. You would still be sitting up there going “shoot thats the way america is” when you just got insulted. Sorry, please comprehend. You don’t make comments like that in a political race. Really, a fair race is not supposed to be focused on someone race. We all go to the bathroom in america too but you don’t get up talking about it in a political race. That was ignorant and all she took in consideration was race. Her comments had no place in a campaign. Maybe if she was sitting with some friend, then yes she is free to express herself. Clinton is where she is because she is a female, because she is the wife of Clinton…so you can also say those things but she didn’t go there…just got off on race.

I agree, it was the wrong place to say it. But that doesn’t make it less true. A fair race shouldn’t be focused on race, no kidding? It also shouldn’t be focused on gender. But for some reason its being focused on both. I’m not saying it doesn’t suck, but to ignore that its happening is foolish.

I have yet to hear anything said by Barrack himself, but his camp has said plenty about Clinton being white and being female. I ignore it because its not coming from Barrack himself. With that in mind, I have to extend the same to Clinton.

Check your own comprehending skills. One side of your mouth you’re disagreeing and out of the other side your claiming what was said is racial. Can’t have it both ways.

Obama Olberman 08

jk but I seriously appreciate his stepping up and calling Hillary out on this. She’s leaving ample room for people to align themselves with Ferarra’s racism and feel that they’re somehow defending a noble cause. The more Hill rolls around in dirty politics the more she starts to smell. I wanted to support her at the beginning, before I even knew who Obama was, and even after that I tried to give all of the candidates a fair shot. Does anyone remember how at the beginning black people, still full of love for Bill and the 90′s were wishing for him to come back and REALLY suspicious of Ooama. Don’t have short memories, it was a hard won vote because we didn’t want the “First black ANYTHING” to be less than stellar. Over and over again I read “We might not get another chance, so he has to be 110% better just to get by.”

Everyone has seen Hillary throw the kitchen sink at Obama. Everyone has heard the Crazy allegations against him for everything from not wearing a flag pin to being a fifth column infiltration/plant of Islam. HILLARY had this election handed to her on a platter and she botched it up. OBAMA has been proving himself as above and beyond every other option from day one. Is it just some fluke of genetics that he’s an inspirational orator? Is that just a Black thing? Is it because he’s half African that Obama has courageously proposed an overhaul of American politics that both challenge and motivate hordes of people who haven’t been to polls in their entire lifetimes, in record numbers to participate in their government? Is it Really, because the last time I checked Obama isn’t anywhere Near the first black man to run for office. Others with longer political records, more vehement and solid support from the black community (including and especially those who marched with Dr. King), didn’t have a fraction of Obama’s success.

The plain truth is that People are more likely to Hate Hillary, and even those who vote for her say they don’t trust her. She’s alienating. She’s abrasive. She’s irritating, and she’s CLEARLY a poor leader considering the campaigning issues she’s encountering. I’m relieved that this racist crap is as infuriating to keith as it is to me. If you don’t want to support obama, FINE. I’m really just happy you’re voting, but don’t spread lies. Don’t support Hillary with sneaky, false, cheating methods. Why can’t she just say, “My campaign methods are better” rather than having to spread falsehoods about his religion, trivialize his candidacy altogether, lie about his experience (he’s been in Elected office longer than she has), and other political BS or support those who use such methods?

I’m not mad at Hillary for wanting to win. I’m mad that she’s poisoning the entire democratic process as enthusiastically and thoroughly as Obama had been attempting to lift it out of the gutter into something even slightly more noble. Plain and simple, selfish people have no place in politics and no place in power.

Once again, Bravo Olberman. I’m spent.

Remember Keith on ESPN. ” FROM WAY DOWN TOWN BANG! cnbc has been my news channel since hes been there.

Very impressive! Keith always drops knowledge.

keith GETEM GETEM GETEM

THANK YOU KIETH, or letting it be known

i wonder what black people would do

if our champion went out like MLK right before the win

would we riot?? would we still vote hilary?? i dunno how we would continue living a normal life, knowing that we are in danger for succeeding

how can obama only be receiving this much votes because of black people if in america blacks only make up like 5% of the population????

who are the other voters aliens please tell me i would like to know

its funny cause i usually hear that black people pull the race card and now there is hilary and her campaign pulling it

obama is not pulling the race card not once have i heard him he is a remarkable man and it shows in his campaign not once i feel has he tried to sabotage or tear down Hilary nor involve himself in a slinging match

them pictures of obama in a turban was to put fear in the people and that was a nasty tactic and weak on there part feeding into the peoples fears by propaganda

his all about what he can do for america and aaalllll the people as a whole

I really don’t know why he want to publish that comment. Who can tell me about that. Now I am quite annoyed. I have talked about him at Wealthychat.com Here many people appeared paying more attention on him. We all like him.

Wow!!!

I am not really a big fan of women even though I heterosexual… LOL… with that said… I want Clinton to win, she is the best person qualified for the job of President at this moment in time. I ain’t got nothing against Obamma though, he should be VP and succeed her later.

“I ain’t got nothing against Obamma though, he should be VP and succeed her later.”

Why should he succeed her later when he’s the better person for the job NOW. Also why should he be VP when he is LEADING!!!Is that how you run your life and raise your kids? Let somebody else do it first then you can have your turn? When you live your life like this you will ALWAYS come in last and may never get a chance to “succeed later”.

Anyone who has seen the numerous attacks that Senator Clinton has geared towards Senator Obama, whter racial or sexist, an can still stand by and say that they are a supporter of her is moronic. Senator Obama has stood by and instead of be hurt by the comments, has risen and shown himself as a humble candiddate. Hilary on the other hand has used every tactic to bring him down. THAT is not who I want leading America.

Obama 2008!

By the way, The Abomination known as “OH Please” is an idiot!

Hi y’all. Keith Olbermann speaks the truth. However, as an Obama supporter, I’m pretty concernced about Rev. Jeremiah Wright; what are your opinions on the connection interms of the elections because you know how shallow politics can get? How much of an issue could Rev. Jeremiah Wright be?

I agree, Hilary is becomeing to desperate, to aggressive & is looking like that Right Wing Republican she USED to preach about.

I wonder if people still feel that Clinton was the first black President….the African American community embraced them like thier own WELL the Clintons are letting us all know how much they appreciated that. Classic Democrat style, nothing unfolding with them is a surprise to be I am just glad the “white sheet” is being ripped off of those posers!!!!

the irony in all of this is we used to joke about the possibilities of this coming to light.nothing is civic in duty when you are pressured to make change.we should opt for betterment in all areas/aspects.we are the global and economic powerhouses and our own worst enemies.

…BRAVO (yet again!) Keith…one of the few people in the MSM who still has the balls to speak the facts as they are…

…Howard Dean, you are a coward and a disgrace… you should hand in your resignation from Chariman of the DNC, Keith Olberman would do a much better job in that position, afterall, he seems to be the ONLY person right now, speaking openly and publicly about how HRC’s greed, malice and evil is ruining the Democratic party and is aiding and abetting the Republicans…she has basically handed over this election to the Republicans, and still, Howard Dean, you sit silently by and watch…

…BRAVO Keith…

Obama 2008-2016!

He was being honest and he was basically saying that this woman has lost her mind. It’s funny people never see themselves as being racist but we all have prejudices we have to over come. No one is perfect but the dangerous ones are the ones that refuse to see that something is wrong and she is definitely on that level. They think they are helping Hilary but they are really hurting her and if she doesn’t get it together she will lose this race. She doesn’t want her campaign to be about her being a woman so why can’t they do the same for Obama? Why does the fact that he is black always come up? It’s a double standard and George points this out and he does it in a respectful way. So unlike Bill Reilly I can respect him.

It’s good to see a white person stand against racism.
